FIC Radeon 9600 Pro - Benchmarks part 4
(Page 6 of 9 )
FIC A96P Radeon 9600 Pro 128MB
3DMark01SE Build 330
This classic benchmark remains as a "must run" IMO. It scales very nicely among different setups, and is still very widely used for bragging rights.
These scores actually tell a lot. First of all, the R9600 Pro is just a more powerful GPU than the FX5600. But secondly, the Ti4280 seems to perform better than the R9600 Pro in older games/benchmarks without AA/AF. But with AA and AF..
...with AA and AF the R9600 Pro really shines. Expectedly, the Ti4280 performance drops to dead last.
3DMark03 Build 330
3DMark03... PC drama at its best. Although half the hardware community wants to believe that this benchmark is a POS as synthetic benchmarks have severely lost their integrity due to certain "optimizations," the 330 patch is supposed to disable any driver recognition of 3DMark03. Thus, technically these scores should be accurate of the cards' being benched, no matter if there are optimizations or not. I left the Ti4280 out of this one.
Nothing new.. the FIC R9600 Pro performs remarkably well (or the FX5600 performs remarkably poor).
